Options Width and Height and Image Quality directly affect on the Gallery speed loading.

If your content width is 1170px and you have gallery with 4 columns, no reason to set "Width and Height" more than 300px. You need to find the optimal value. If you have Gallery with 2 columns layout, we recommend to set thumbnails "Width and Height" no more than 600px. Simple mathematics!
